An apron includes a skirt configured to hang down from the waist of a wearer, a resilient spring member secured to the skirt and configured to partly extend about a waist of the wearer to hold the skirt in place at the waist of the wearer, and at least one accessory removably secured to the skirt. The resilient spring member includes a ferromagnetic material and the at least one accessory has a magnet removably secured to the resilient spring member by magnetic attraction. The accessory can be a towel, a potholder and/or the like.

A garment including a plurality of panel units each panel unit having at least one hole positioned near the periphery of each panel unit, a connection unit that engages a hole on a first panel unit and a second connection unit that engages a hole on a second engagement unit where the distance between adjacent panel units is determined based on the distance of each hole from the each of each panel unit and a diameter of each connection unit.

Protective clothing for cutting operations includes an inner layer having the form of an article of clothing and an outer layer having the form of the same article of clothing as the inner layer and is configured to fit over the inner layer. The material of the inner layer is formed of least partly of a cut-resistant material. The inner and outer layers include a fastener which is configured to retain the inner and outer layers together in use.

A radiation shielding sheet includes a fiber and a granular radiation shielding material, in which the fiber and the radiation shielding material are integrally formed into the shape of a sheet.

A radiation shielding sheet of the present invention includes a fiber and a granular radiation shielding material, in which the fiber and the radiation shielding material are integrally formed into the shape of a sheet.

An apron including a front panel and a rear panel each including an inner surface, an outer surface, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. The bottom edges are coupled together, the first side edges are coupled together, the second side edges are coupled together, and an opening is between the top edges leading into a pocket defined by the inner surfaces. A first metal ring coupled to the rear panel where the top edge and the first side edge meet. A second metal ring is coupled to the rear panel where the top edge and the second side edge meet. A first hook is releasably attached to the first metal ring. A second hook is releasably attached to the second metal ring.

A metal fabric (10) uses warp metal wires (40) as the warp, and weft metal wires (50) as the weft, where the warp metal wires (40) and the weft metal wires (50) are composed of different metal materials. A curtain (100) as an interior decoration uses the metal fabric (10). A partition member (200) is configured to have the metal fabric (10) and a frame (210) which supports the outer circumference of the metal fabric (10). A clothing is configured to contain the metal fabric (10), and an electromagnetic shielding member is configured to contain the metal fabric (10).

Protective garments are provided. A protective garment includes a protective garment fabric. The fabric is formed from a plurality of layers. At least one layer of the plurality of layers is formed from a plurality of fibers adapted to entangle with a moving blade of a tool upon contact between the moving blade and the fabric. At least one layer of the fabric includes metal fibers. The garment includes a garment sensing device including a sensor configured to detect when one or more metal fibers are cut, and a signal generator configured to send a signal to the tool to disable movement of the moving blade.
